Thinking about a prenuptial agreement in Florida? Here's what you need to know:

1. Florida's Legal Framework: Florida adheres to the Uniform Premarital Agreement Act (UPAA), ensuring consistency across states. A prenup must be in writing, signed, and ideally witnessed, especially if it involves estate planning or real property.

2. Equitable Distribution Without a Prenup: Without a prenup, Florida courts apply equitable distribution during divorce, which isn't necessarily a 50-50 split but is based on fairness, considering various factors like the marriage's duration and each spouse's contributions.

3. Timing is Crucial: It's advisable to finalize a prenup about a month before the wedding to avoid disputes over voluntariness and fairness. This allows both parties time to consider the agreement thoroughly.

4. Reasonableness Over Equality: A prenup doesn't have to split assets equally but should be fair. It should not disproportionately disadvantage one party.

5. Legal Representation Optional: While a lawyer isn't required to draft a prenup in Florida, having one can prevent disputes about voluntariness and provide personalized legal advice. Online platforms like HelloPrenup offer state-compliant solutions.
